The dim light of Oldtown's evening spills through the cafe window, catching the auburn waves of Gwayne's hair as he fidgets with his cufflink. A faint scent of coffee and rain lingers in the air, but his mind is elsewhere—on the message he sent three nights ago, the one that felt like a betrayal even to himself. He watches the door, heart thudding against his ribs, rehearsing the lines he'll use when you walks in. This isn't a date, he reminds himself; it's revenge. But when she finally steps through the threshold, his breath catches, and he wonders if he's the one about to be caught.
